The Goslarer SC 08 is a German association football club from the city of Goslar, Lower Saxony.

The clubs most notable achievement was winning the tier-five Niedersachsenliga and earning promotion to the Regionalliga Nord in 2009 and 2012.

Apart from football, the club also offers hockey, track and field and archery as other sports.

Formed in 1908, the club entered competitive football three years later, in 1911.

The team achieved success for the first time when it earned promotion to the then tier-one Südkreisliga in 1922 after a title in the local Northern Harz championship. It also opened its Osterfeldstadion that year. German football was very regionalised in this era and a large number of local leagues existed at the top-level of football. GSC was grouped in the Kreisliga Südkreis-Group 1, a league made up of eight teams and won by SV Arminia Hannover that season, with Goslar coming seventh. The club repeated this result in the following season, and finished one position better in 1924–25. In 1925–26, the team was moved to Group 2 of the league, in exchange for Hannover 96, but it did not fare well in this league, coming last with only two wins out of fourteen games.

GSC spent only one season in the second tier, earning promotion back in 1926–27. It returned to the Group 2 of the Bezirksliga Südhannover-Braunschweig, where it finished fifth in 1927–28, its best result at this level yet. After no championship being played in 1928–29, the two divisions of the league were merged for 1929–30 and renamed Oberliga Südhannover-Braunschweig. It this more competitive league with Arminia Hannover, Hannover 96 and Eintracht Braunschweig in it, GSC performed poorly, remaining without a win and finishing last out of ten clubs.

It was to be the club's last season in top-flight, in the Gauliga era that followed from 1933, it failed to advance to the tier-one Gauliga Niedersachsen or, from 1943, the Gauliga Südhannover-Braunschweig.
